About
Hi, I'm Samuel! French entrepreneur who loves three things: bootstrapping projects that make sense, bouldering until my fingers hurt, and hanging out with my family. I'm building Alter—an AI assistant that lives in your Mac's notch. Honestly, this should have been there from the start. Apple missed it, so I built it. Not a fan of complicated business plans or endless funding rounds. I prefer making things that work and seeing where they go. When not coding, you'll find me climbing or playing with my daughter. Alter is intelligence done right. Simple as that.

What saas conversion rate benchmarks are considered good?
This is quite urgent as I'm launching apps back to back. I have some paid customers here and there and some OK traffic, but Im not sure what to pursue with more energy. What kind of conversion rates are considered "good" in order to pursue a product more seriously? When I say conversion rates I mean the following:
From landing page to app visit
From app visit to registration
From registration to paid customer
What numbers do you consider good? I haven't managed to find clear answers online.
PS: Im a solopreneur so I have limited resources, I cant be pursuing products that make no sense number-wise.
Voice AI course and online community
Announcing: Voice Agents course and online community ...
@swyx and I are hosting a month-long technical deep dive into Voice AI and Voice Agents, starting in May.
Our goals are to:
cover all the lessons we've learned over the last two years building realtime, conversational AI,
host fun sessions with all our favorite people who are doing related things,
and
build a long-term online community.

We'll start announcing free credits for students on Monday. Sign up this weekend with promo code PHUNT for a super-secret Product Hunt community discount.
Last year I signed up for the LLM fine-tuning course taught by Hamel Husain and Dan Becker.
The experience was fantastic in every way. The material was great. The course expanded to cover way more than fine-tuning. It seemed like all of Twitter signed up. I met people in the course Discord that have become online and offline friends. Someone eventually dubbed the course "AI Woodstock." (I think credit for that goes to Swyx.)
We think this is the moment to try to create a similar thing for voice AI.
Voice interfaces are going to be a huge part of the near-future of computing. Voice agents are being deployed at scale today for a wide range of use cases.
collecting patient data prior to healthcare appointments
following up on inbound sales leads,
handling an increasing variety of call center tasks,
coordinating scheduling and logistics between companies, and
answering the phone for nearly every kind of small business.
I'm personally excited about voice interactions for games, realtime video, and voice-enabled programming environments.
